OHP Marketing Log-in

Let's take a look into the crystal ball...OHP working on new products!

As we head into 2007,we realize how critical it is to continue to bring new products, new formulations of existing products, and new technologies into our market. New products, formulations, and technologies are simply the lifeblood of our business. With that in mind, we are working feverishly on several “new” products and formulations that we hope to launch sometime in the near future. Exact dates are unknown as the EPA registration process is an uneven and unpredictable process.

Imidacloprid liquid formulation

We will launch a new liquid formulation of imidacloprid (the active ingredient that is in Marathon®) and cyfluthrin (the active ingredient that is in Decathlon®) for quicker knock down. It will be labeled for the greenhouse.

Tablets

We are developing a novel form of imidacloprid, a tablet for container and fieldgrown nursery operations. A feature of this product will be long-term residual activity.

Spikes

In the near future, we will launch an imidacloprid-based spike for application in potted crops like hanging baskets and poinsettias. The spike will be a thin, oblong tablet that a grower inserts into the soil. The novel application method should offer labor savings, in addition to the long-term residual control imidacloprid provides.

New insecticide

Further down the road, look for a totally new insecticide from OHP. It represents a new class of chemistry and current data reveals exceptional activity on many of the insects growers face in the greenhouse and nursery.We are estimating introduction in 2009.

Suffusion™ tablets

A technology much closer to the market is our Suffusion tablet, developed by our marketing partner AmegA Sciences. Currently, we market Suffusion Granules and Suffusion Liquid for use as a surfactant (wetting agent) on media in greenhouse, nurseries, interior plantscapes, and soil production. Soon,we will launch a Suffusion tablet, designed to be used with a hose-end sprayer-type apparatus. A grower will place a tablet into the hose-end and be able to deliver a dose of Suffusion water to plants. From a practical aspect, growers can use the Suffusion tablet just prior to ship to give the crop added “wetness”and make it easier to water once at its destination. A truck driver may use the Suffusion tablet to water the crop once he has it off the truck and at his destination. His last activity would be to water the crop with the Suffusion tablet. Finally, a merchandiser at a Big Box retailer could use the Suffusion tablet to increase efficiencies of the watering process. You’ll hear a lot more about the Suffusion tablets and these other products in the coming weeks, months,and years.
